Enabling PNPM in AWS Amplify Gen 2

 Hi,

Having trouble enabling PNPM in your AWS Amplify Gen 2 project?

Not a problem here is the YAML configuration


Happy coding!

  1. The article provides a practical solution for enabling PNPM in an AWS Amplify Gen 2 project, with the YAML configuration showing how Corepack can activate a specific PNPM version and how the PNPM store can be configured for the build environment. The separation between backend and frontend build phases also makes the configuration easy to follow.

    The preBuild and build commands demonstrate several useful deployment details, including pnpm i --no-cache, --frozen-lockfile, pnpm setup, and the Amplify pipeline deployment command. These are particularly relevant for developers working with Frontend Training workflows where reproducible package installation is important for CI/CD builds.

  2. The example also shows how the frontend build is handled separately under apps/web, followed by publishing the generated dist directory as the deployment artifact. This kind of separation between application code and deployment configuration is useful when working across Backend Training concepts and cloud-hosted application environments.

  3. Using a fixed PNPM version through Corepack is another practical detail because it helps keep the package-manager version consistent between development and the Amplify build environment. For teams maintaining larger JavaScript applications, these deployment practices fit naturally into broader Full Stack Course development workflows.
